Program Notes
With a simple, minor mode melody, stately fanfare-like figures and plenty of percussion, Medieval Fayre has something for everyone in the band. One of the key features of this piece is the use of crescendo on a long note. Doing these crescendos creates interest and helps to move the piece forward.
